Rebels and Lovers

By connivingmole, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I enjoy creating lists that "feel" right, like skirmishes we saw in the films or that seem to tell a story (even if they aren't tournament-strong). Really the only requirement for Rebels and Lovers is that it must include Leia, Han, Luke, and Lando. And an MC80, because I like them.

Han and escorts fly at incoming squadrons, leaving Luke and his bombers to put damage on ships. Lando takes a big risk for a big score, while Leia stays back, rolling her eyes and maintaining order. Dodonna offers fatherly/bomber advice.

I think this list could go first or second. Thoughts?

You have more than enough squadron commands already, so I'd recommend upgrading Quantum Storm up to a CR90B, for the extra firepower and durability. Things you could drop to gain the points: a Y-wing, vet captain, Defiance title, bid.

Leia doesn't care what type of ship she wants to be on as they're both command 1.

Otherwise looks good, given your requirements. :)

Keeping with theme I'd like to see Leia on the Tantive IV ;)

Leia on the Tantive, I like it. Also gives me some command token flexibility to make up for the loss of vet captain. The MC80 lost a bit of power and boosted comms, but I think that's ok. I can command squadrons from other ships if necessary.

I think I'd swap two of the x-wings back to y's - keeps with the visual theme and this will free up another 6ts :)
